Beaded decorative light string

Abstract

A decorative light string includes electrical wires having first and second sections alternating each other, a lamp electrically and mechanically coupled each second section of the wires, a first decoration spherical bead mounted to each first section of the wires with at least a portion of the first section of the wires extending therethrough and a second decoration spherical bead mounted to each second section of the wires and forming an interior space for accommodating the lamp. The number of the first decoration beads mounted to each first section of the wires between adjacent second decoration beads can be set so that the first section of the wires is substantially covered by the first decoration beads between the adjacent second decoration beads.

1 . A decorative light string comprising: 
 electrical wires having at least a first section and a second section;    at least one lamp electrically and mechanically coupled the second section of the wires; and    a first decoration member attached to each first section of the wires with the first section of the wires extending through the first decoration member whereby the first section of the wires is housed in the first decoration member.    
   
   
       2 . The decorative light string as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the first decoration member comprises a first sphere defining openings through which the first section of the wires extends.  
   
   
       3 . The decorative light string as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the first sphere comprises first and second portions attached to each other.  
   
   
       4 . The decorative light string as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein the first sphere is hollow and comprises first and second hemi-spherical members having opening edges attached to each other, notches being defined in the opening edges and forming the openings when the first and second hemi-spherical members are attached to each other.  
   
   
       5 . The decorative light string as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein the first and second portions are hinged to each other at a first position and releasably coupled to each other at a second position substantially opposite to each other.  
   
   
       6 . The decorative light string as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein the coupling between the first and second portions comprises a resilient pawl engageable with a recess, both being formed in the first and second portions respectively.  
   
   
       7 . The decorative light string as claimed in  claim 1  further comprising a second, hollow decoration member accommodating the lamp therein and surrounding the second section of the wires.  
   
   
       8 . The decorative light string as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein the second hollow decoration member a second sphere defining openings through which the second section of the wires extends whereby the second section of the wires is housed in the second decoration member.  
   
   
       9 . The decorative light string as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the second sphere comprises first and second portions attached to each other.  
   
   
       10 . The decorative light string as claimed in  claim 9 , wherein the second sphere comprises first and second hemi-spherical members having opening edges attached to each other, notches being defined in the opening edges and forming the openings when the first and second hemi-spherical members are attached to each other.  
   
   
       11 . The decorative light string as claimed in  claim 9 , wherein the first and second portions of the second sphere are hinged to each other at a first position and releasably coupled to each other at a second position substantially opposite to each other.  
   
   
       12 . The decorative light string as claimed in  claim 11 , wherein the coupling between the first and second portions of the second sphere comprises a resilient pawl engageable with a recess, both being formed in the first and second portions of the second sphere respectively.  
   
   
       13 . The decorative light string as claimed in  claim 7  comprising two lamps accommodated in the second decoration member.  
   
   
       14 . The decorative light string as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein the lamp comprises a clip engaging the first section of the wires.  
   
   
       15 . The decorative light string as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein the second sphere forms a mount that receives and retains the lamp inside the second sphere.  
   
   
       16 . The decorative light string as claimed in  claim 13 , wherein the second sphere forms a mount that receives and retains the lamps inside the second sphere.  
   
   
       17 . The decorative light string as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the first decoration member has a configuration of a doll figure.  
   
   
       18 . The decorative light string as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the first decoration has a star shape.  
   
   
       19 . The decorative light string as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein the second decoration member has a configuration of a doll figure.  
   
   
       20 . The decorative light string as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein the second decoration has a star shape.
